, Description:TECHNICAL FIELD
The present subject matter is related, in general to a navigation device, and more particularly, but not exclusively to an electronic navigation system and a method for providing navigation information to a user.
BACKGROUND

A navigation device provides navigation information, for example, directions, distance to destination, estimated time to reach the destination, to a user for travelling from one location to another location using global positioning system (GPS) technology. The GPS technology is a satellite navigation system that uses multiple satellite signals to find user’s position on earth. The problem with the existing traditional navigation devices are that they are bulky and hence difficult to integrate in the existing dashboard of transportation vehicles such as motor cycles, scooters, bicycles, auto rickshaws etc. Further, the interface provided in the existing traditional navigation devices comprises many other information along with the required navigation information. The user does not have time to process so many other information displayed in the traditional navigation devices while riding the aforementioned transportation vehicles and also causes a lot of distraction to the user. Further, the cost of traditional GPS devices is expensive due to which majority of users having auto rickshaws, bicycles, delivery trucks, motorbikes, scooty, etc. may not be able to afford the traditional navigation device.
Generally, habitual joggers tend to jog in forest area where normally route information, for example, a direction of the jog path is not available or not displayed on a sign board. In such situation, joggers make use of smart phone associated with them to identify the direction. However, the joggers end up holding the smart phone in their hand to check route information. This may cause distraction for jogging activity.
One of the existing conventional approaches discloses a portable navigation device for providing navigation assistance. The device mainly comprises of selection means for selectively downloading geographically limited map data as specified by the user whilst substantially blocking other map data. But this navigation device comprises of on-board powering facility, a map data receiving port, a logic board that contains one or more map data storage semiconductor chips as well as data processing facilities. The navigation device also comprises a GPS unit and output means for outputting user information which makes the navigation device expensive, having high power consumption and prohibitive in several cases mentioned in the above paragraph.
Hence there is a need to find a simplified solution which is of low cost, easily portable and having a small and compact size, hence suitable for integrating in the dashboard of all modes of transport, having low power consumption and providing less or no distraction to the user while driving by displaying minimal but relevant navigation information as required by the user.

Fig.1a shows an exemplary electronic navigation system for providing navigation information to a user in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure.

The electronic navigation system 100 comprises a first electronic device 103 and a second electronic device 105. As an example, the first electronic device 103 may include, but not limited to a mobile phone, a tablet phone and a standalone navigation device. The second electronic device 105 may be a display unit configurable in any type of vehicles or being capable of embedded with fabrics such as shirts, jackets or shoes or embedded in plastic components. The first electronic device 103 comprises an I/O interface 107, a first control unit 109 and a memory unit 111. In an embodiment, a navigation application is implemented in the first electronic device 103. The navigation application enables the user to enter a source point and a destination point. The source point is the point at which user starts the journey and the destination point is the point where the user wishes to reach. The navigation application may suggest one or more routes for the selected source point and the destination point by extracting the route information from a Global Positioning System (GPS) module 200 configured in the first electronic device 103. The user may select one of the one or more routes. The navigation application provides the navigation information based on the selected route. The navigation information comprises at least one of information associated with the route selected by the user, directions encountered in the route, distance to next direction, time left for the next direction, total time required to cover the selected route by the user and total distance to be covered by the user through the selected route. The route selected by the user is sent to the first control unit 109.
The first control unit 109 receives the input comprising the route selected by the user and identifies one or more navigation commands associated with the navigation information related to the route. The one or more navigation commands are at least one of “Go left”, “Go right”, “Go straight”, “Take slight-left”, “Take slight-right” and “U-turn”. Upon identifying the one or more navigation commands, the first control unit 109 compares the one or more navigation commands sequentially with one or more predefined direction commands. The one or more predefined direction commands are stored in a first indication mapping table 113 configured in the memory unit 111. Each of the one or more predefined direction commands is associated with a command code. The first navigation command among the one or more navigation commands is compared with the one or more predefined direction commands. The matched predefined direction command corresponding to the first navigation command is identified and the command code corresponding to the matched predefined direction command is obtained by the first control unit 109. Upon obtaining the command code, the first control unit 109 transmits a signal comprising the command code to the second electronic device 105 associated with the first electronic device 103 through a short range communication interface. The communication interface can be either wired communication interface or wireless communication interface. The second electronic device 105 comprises a second control unit 115, a storage unit 117 and a user interface 121.
The second control unit 115 receives the command code transmitted by the first control unit 109 through the short range communication interface. The command code thus received is compared with one or more predefined command codes stored in a second indication mapping table 119 configured in the storage unit 117. Each of the one or more predefined command codes is associated with an indication command. The matched predefined command code corresponding to the received command code is identified by the second control unit 115 and the indication command corresponding to the matched predefined command code is obtained by the second control unit 115. The indication command thus obtained is transmitted to the user interface 121. The user interface 121 comprises at least one of one or more indicators 123, a display panel 125 and one or more selection icons. The one or more indicators 123 are configured to display the indication command received from the second control unit 115. As an example, the one or more indicators 123 are represented as shown in Fig.1a. The left arrow indicates the user to move in the left direction, the right arrow indicates the user to move in right direction, the straight arrow indicates the user to move in straight direction, the slight-left arrow indicates the user to move in slightly left direction and the slight-right arrow indicates the user to move slightly in the right direction. In an exemplary embodiment, the indicators are provided with Light emitting diode (LED) for displaying the directions upon receiving the indication command from the second control unit 115. The indication command received by the user interface 121 is displayed by the corresponding indicator among the one or more indicators 123. The display panel 127 is configured to display at least one of the navigation information and one or more notifications received from the first electronic device 103. In a similar manner as described above, all of the one or more navigation commands identified for the route are displayed to the user sequentially. The one or more selection icons are configured for providing a preconfigured response to the first electronic device 103 in reply to the one or more notifications received from the first electronic device 103. The one or more selection icons are either hard buttons or touch screen buttons. In one embodiment, the preconfigured response associated with the one or more selection icons is changeable by the user, using the first electronic device.

In one embodiment, rerouting is performed by the first electronic device 103 when the user deviates from the route displayed by the second electronic device 105. The first electronic device 103 detects when the user deviates from the original route based on existing computational techniques. The first electronic device 103 detects a new route corresponding to the source point and the destination point using a GPS module 200 configured in the first electronic device 103. The new route information is transmitted to the second electronic device 105 and displayed to the user using the corresponding indicator among the one or more indicators 123 in the second electronic device 105. In another embodiment, rerouting is performed by the second electronic device 105 using the GPS module 200 configured in the second electronic device 105.
As an example, the exemplary electronic navigation system 100 illustrated in Fig.1a comprises the first electronic device 103 and the second electronic device 105. The first electronic device 103 is associated with the user. The user uses a navigation application present in the first electronic device 103 and provides the source point as “ABC” and the destination point as “XYZ”. As an example, the navigation application may provide two routes for the selected source point and the destination point namely “Route 1” and “Route 2”. Upon selection of “Route 2” by the user, the one or more navigation commands corresponding to the route are identified. As an example, the navigation command identified by the first control unit 109 is “Go Left” command. The first control unit 109 compares the “Go Left” command with the one or more predefined direction commands stored in the first indication mapping table 113. As an example, based on the comparison, the command code associated with the matched predefined direction command obtained is “command code 1”. The signal comprising “command code 1” is transmitted to the second electronic device. Upon receiving the signal comprising “command code 1”, a second control unit 115 configured in the second electronic device 105 compares the “command code 1” with the one or more predefined command codes stored in the second indication mapping table 119. Based on the comparison, the indication command associated with the matched predefined command code is obtained which is “Left”. The second control unit 115 transmits the thus obtained “Left” indication command to the user interface 121 wherein the left indicator is activated among the one or more indicators 123 which provides an indication to the user to take a left turn.

Fig.1b shows an exemplary an electronic navigation system illustrating a method of providing one or more notifications and a response for the one or more notifications in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure.
As illustrated in Fig.1a, the electronic navigation system 100 comprises a first electronic device 103 and a second electronic device 105. In one embodiment, the first electronic device 103 receives one or more notifications from a third party device 129. As an example, the third party device 129 may be a mobile phone, a tablet phone, a laptop and a desktop. The one or more notifications may be at least one of an incoming call and a message. A message may include but not limited to, at least one of a text message, an audio clip and a battery low alert. In another embodiment, the one or more notifications are generated by the first electronic device 103. For example, the battery low message may be generated by the first electronic device. The one or more notifications received by the first electronic device 103 are displayed on an I/O interface 107 configured in the first electronic device 103. A signal comprising the one or more notifications is then transmitted to the second electronic device 105. A display panel 125 configured in the user interface 121 displays the received one or more notifications to the user. Upon displaying the one or more notifications, the user may select one of the one or more selection icons 127 configured in the user interface 121. Each of the one or more selection icons 127 is associated with a response number stored in a second preconfigured response table 120 in a storage unit 117 configured in the second electronic device 105. The response number corresponding to the selection icon selected by the user is obtained and the signal comprising the response number is transmitted to the first electronic device 103. Upon receiving the signal, the first control unit 109 compares the received response number with one or more predefined response numbers stored in the form of a first preconfigured response table 114 in a storage unit 117 configured in the first electronic device 103. Each of the one or more response numbers is associated with a preconfigured response and an action command, stored in the first preconfigured response table 114. The preconfigured response and the action command corresponding to the matched predefined response number is obtained and transmitted to the third party device 129 as a response to the one or more notifications received from the third party device 129.
As an example, the exemplary navigation system 100 illustrated in Fig.1b comprises the first electronic device 103 and the second electronic device 105. The first electronic device 103 receives an incoming call notification from the third party device 129. The incoming call notification is displayed on the I/O interface 107 and then transmitted to the second electronic device 105. Upon receiving the incoming call notification, the second control unit 115 displays the incoming call notification on the display panel 125 of the user interface 121. The caller identification i.e. name of the third party and the phone number of the third party as “john +91-12345678” is displayed on the display panel 125. In an exemplary scenario, the user might be driving and cannot receive the call. Therefore, the user may respond to the incoming call notification by selecting one of the one or more selection icons 127. The user of the second electronic device 105 selects the selection icon 1. The second control unit 105 obtains the response number corresponding to the selected selection icon 1 from the second preconfigured response table 120. The response number corresponding to the selection icon 1 is “response number 1”. Upon obtaining the response number, the signal comprising the “response number 1” is transmitted to the first electronic device 103. Upon receiving the signal, the first control unit 109 compares the “response number 1” with the one or more preconfigured response numbers stored in the first preconfigured response table 114. The preconfigured response and the action command corresponding to the matched predefined response number are obtained. As an example, the preconfigured response corresponding to the matched predefined response number 1 is “Driving, will call you later” and the action command is “Reject call”. The obtained preconfigured response is transmitted to the third party device 129 and the obtained action command is performed by the first electronic device 103 upon transmitting the obtained response to the third party device 129. Therefore, upon selecting the selection icon 1 by the user, the preconfigured response “Driving, will call you later” as selected by the user is provided to the third party device 129 and the call is rejected by the first electronic device 103.
